And Smith apparently.

Smith is a DE

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Smith is back at LB.

 

[BruinVol]

Smith is back at LB.

What a fiasco.

 

[butchna]

What a fiasco.

Why? Good move.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Quarterbacks throwing the deep ball. Thoughts?

Smith going back to LB is because they got tired of the LB's being rolled last season, which is why they also signed Ignont.

But he knows that.

Well.













Damn.




They both look impressive.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Hope Butch and the boys have a good season this year. Only good vibes from me from now on.

It just seems to me that if it's close, they have to give it to JG right? He can do so many things that's Dormady can't. Dormady has a good arm, he's a good passer, but so is JG and JG has a massive athletic advantage. I don't know much about Dormady off the field, but JG seems to be a natural leader also. We'll see I guess, I just have the feeling that it will be Dormady's job to lose because he's a safer option.

JG *might have more talent but a QB still has to be capable of running the offense. We have no idea if he has an advantage in that area.

All these posts about JG being the "right QB" before he even takes a snap, reminds me of the promises of Richmond taking it to the next level immediately.

Assuming they are equal in knowing the offense, how much better does Dormady have to be than JG to be willing to give him the job when he does not have the athletic intangibles that JG does? Dormady is slow

First in my head:

JG has a cannon. So much air under the ball and with such ease. Great touch.

Slow like Manning?

 

[BruinVol]

Why? Good move.

That's easy.


2016- loaded at DE and no opportunity to play so Smith moves there which appeared to be to have one year to be ready to help the following year. Oh and LB depth Sucked

2017- Lb is experienced with help arriving and DE is a very iffy position without Much depth and Smith moves back to LB.


He seems to be at the position he is needed the least that's why it's a fiasco

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Slow like Manning?

Is he Peyton?

 

[BigZiti09]

That's easy.

If he is not good enough to see the field what does it matter?

 

[BruinVol]

That might be the explanation but that would be a real shame for a kid that was in the starting lineup as a true freshmen.

 

[chargervol]

Is he Peyton?

Don't know.
You said assume that JG already had the offense down as well as QD.
I thought we just got to assume for both?

Am I supposed to just ASSUME JG is more talented and has already won the team and mastered the offense, while having almost superhuman talent?
All without ever having taken a snap.

He's kinda the Paul Bain of QBS at this point.

 

[BigZiti09]

So was Jakob Johnson.

Happens all the time. Just gotta hope he can get in where he fits in.

I think he's needed at linebacker...and it seems to be his natural position. New coaching mindset taking hold.

So the answer to the question then, is that assuming they equally know the offense, Dormady has to be Peyton to beat out JG. Wow, no pressure

 

[BruinVol]

It would appear to me that if Jakob Johnson had been left alone at LB we might have won an extra game last year. It's certainly reasonable to think he could have helped at LB last season.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Well. That was just enough info to make me want more.

 

[chargervol]

No. That's absurd actually.
Just pointing out that it's ridiculous to assume that someone not as fast, 'like Manning wasn't', can't be the better QB.
That and I refuse to "assume" that JG can already run the offense just as well. You're just making that up because it's what you want to be the case.

 

[BigZiti09]

He's not any good at LB though.
